SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 373
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the state's county treasurers and to join them in |
|
|
celebrating April 8, 2025, as Texas County Treasurers Day at the |
|
|
State Capitol; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Elected by voters for four-year terms, county |
|
|
treasurers fulfill a wide-ranging array of duties as prescribed |
|
|
by the Texas Local Government Code and County Commissioners |
|
|
Courts; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, There are currently 244 county treasurers in |
|
|
Texas, and two-thirds serve in rural counties with fewer than |
|
|
25,000 residents; these dedicated public officials serve as |
|
|
chief custodians of county finances and are tasked with |
|
|
receiving, disbursing, and providing oversight of all county |
|
|
funds; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to performing explicit statutory |
|
|
duties, county treasurers serve as the chief liaison between their |
|
|
county and depository banks, and many help to meet their county's |
|
|
unique needs by providing versatile services; these may include |
|
|
services in such areas as human resource administration, auditing, |
|
|
and payroll management, and county treasurers are often entrusted |
|
|
with providing treasurer duties for various county entities; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, County Treasurers Day at the Capitol serves as an |
|
|
opportunity for these esteemed public servants to engage with |
|
|
legislators, advocate on behalf of their communities, and assist |
|
|
in the legislative process by offering expertise in the fiduciary |
|
|
aspects of county governance; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the state's county treasurers for their |
|
|
diligent financial stewardship and their invaluable contributions |
|
|
to the people and communities of the Lone Star State and extend to |
|
|
all best wishes for a memorable County Treasurers Day at the |
|
|
Capitol; and, be it further |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
